overview : Thomas Gilcrease traveled extensively in Europe during the 1920s and 1930s. His visits to European museums apparently inspired him to create his own collection. Pride in his American Indian heritage and interest in the history of the American West provided a focus for his collecting. - In 1914 Gilcrease purchased a house, constructed of native sandstone, located on what are now the Gilcrease Museum grounds.
